The old man knew who Bai Jiangye was…
A peak genius.
Not only in the cultivation aspect but also in the assassination.
He had killed Golden Core Realm when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
And with his early Golden Core Realm strength, he had personally killed a half-step Nascent Soul Realm!
His strength could not be simply assessed by level.
The old man had paid quite a bit of attention to get the other party to cooperate with him precisely because of this.
Yet, such a ruthless person had given Li Ran such a high evaluation?
The old man was puzzled. “Is the kid that strong?”
Bai Jiangye glanced at him. “You may not be his opponent.”
“Heh…”
The old man smiled disdainfully, clearly not putting it in his heart.
What kind of joke was this? He was an early-stage Deity Transformation cultivator!
When the plan was completed entirely, it was not impossible even to cross the tribulation.
A mere ten-year-old brat was worthy of being his enemy?
—
Lin Langyue and Yue Jianli exchanged a glance, their faces pale.
They had only been exploring the forest, yet they had encountered this fellow!
This old man was called Yu Ye, an expert of the Yin Corpse Dao.
Because he had been dealing with corpses all year long and Yin Qi had seeped into his body, he looked ancient.
He was a notorious figure.
Previously, for the sake of breaking through, he had managed to cultivate a thousand members of a village into Corpse Puppets, enraging the Righteous Path.
The Righteous Path had hunted him for a very long time, but they couldn’t find him.
It looks like the unusual movements of the Grand Myriad Mountain Range this time weren’t the appearance of some strange treasure at all. Instead, it was all caused by Yu Ye!
At this moment, Yu Ye said, “Bai Jiangye, I’ll leave the Myriad Sword Pavilion girl to you. I’ll deal with this early Nascent Soul cultivator.”
These two women had seen his good deed, so they definitely could not leave anyone alive.
Bai Jiangye shook his head. “You can do it yourself. I’ll help you relax.”
“Eh?”
Yu Ye was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Bai Jiangye shrugged. “Yue Jianli seems to be quite close to Li Ran, so I don’t want to offend him.“
He had seen what had transpired on the city wall that night.
The Thunderous Feral Lion had almost killed Yue Jianli.
And how did Li Ran vent that anger?
These two must have a deep relationship.
“Little thief, what about the benefits this old man has given you? Spit it out!” Yu Ye shouted.
Bai Jiangye yawned and glanced at the sun. “You should hurry up and make your move. If we continue dragging things out, we’ll only attract more and more people.”
Hmph!
Yu Ye understood this logic as well. He snorted coldly and said, “Forget it, it’s just two yellow-haired girls. I can crush them.”
He would need Bai Jiangye’s help in a moment, but now, he couldn’t say anything.
Yu Ye’s tone was unrestrained, clearly not putting them in his eyes.
But he did indeed have this strength.
The Deity Transformation Realm signified one’s increase in qi and refinement of one’s soul. Therefore, every stage’s difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Not to mention an entire realm difference.
For Nascent Souls and Golden Core cultivators, he was an insurmountable existence.
The two girls wanted to flee by igniting their blood, but they were firmly locked onto by Yu Ye’s Divine Sense. As long as they made a single move, they would be struck by lightning!
“Yu Ye, are you sure you want to provoke two top sects?” Lin Langyue said.
“Hehe, who said I was going to become an enemy of the sect?”
Yu Ye said coldly, “You died in the mouth of a demon beast. What does it have to do with me, Yu Ye?”
“You!”
The faces of the two of them changed. They knew that the other party was intent on killing them.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Langyue let out a low growl as she prepared to flee, but suddenly, an icy killing intent burst forth.
Yu Ye’s black robe trembled, and a black mist emerged from his sleeve.
A portion of it turned into a black python in the air and flew toward her.
Yu Ye said with a strange smile, “This is the soul-devouring black mist I obtained in the western region. Not only can it destroy the body, but it can also harm the soul! So what are you going to fight me with?”
The two of them immediately felt miserable.
This black mist was extremely difficult to deal with as physical attacks could not affect the mist. Therefore, there was no point in using treasures to attack, but their souls were unstable after being touched.
“We can’t continue to tangle!”
Yue Jianli quickly formed an incantation gesture in her hand, and the divine light of her longsword soared, breaking free from the black mist and soaring into the sky.
In the air, it rapidly grew in size, eventually turning into an incomparably colossal sword.
Boom! Boom!
The colossal sword carried divine light as it struck the bone hand, directly dispersing the black mist!
Yu Ye was stunned.
He never expected that someone from the Golden Core Realm would be able to break through his Dao Technique!
On the other side, the divine light in Lin Langyue’s hand was enshrouded, and it forcefully obliterated the black python.
“Haha, interesting. As expected of the top two cultivators on the genius rankings. What skill.”
Yu Ye raised his hand while boundless black mist gushed out from his sleeve, and it practically filled the entire heavens and the earth.
Countless scarlet eyes lit up in the black mist as they let out terrifying howls that seemed to contain numerous evil spirits!
They madly rushed towards them!
Lin Langyue opened her mouth slightly and muttered to herself. A ball of light shone around her, blocking the black mist.
The evil spirits in the mist-covered sky and earth continued to press down. They frantically tore at the barrier, making creaking sounds.
Seeing this shocking scene, the two of them couldn’t help but shiver!
Crack!
A crack appeared on the barrier.
Lin Langyue’s face paled. “That won’t do! I won’t be able to hold on for long!”
Yue Jianli said, “I’ll buy you some time. Think of a way to burn blood and escape!“
She was only at the Golden Core Realm. Even Burning Blood would not be able to escape.
However, Lin Langyue should have a chance.
Lin Langyue shook her head. “It’s useless. He’s already locked onto us. Furthermore, we came together. So, naturally, we will return together.”
“Then what should we do?” Yue Jianli quietly grasped the jade pendant.
Li Ran had given it to her to crush her in a dangerous moment so that he could sense it.
However, Yue Jianli hesitated for a moment before putting away the jade pendant.
She couldn’t let Li Ran come.
No matter how strong Li Ran was, he was only on the same level as Yu Ye.
Yu Ye was not just any expert; he was a whole realm away!
What’s more, there was a Bai Jiangye who hadn’t made a move.
She couldn’t let Li Ran risk his life to save her!
Crack!
Another crisp sound.
Lin Langyue had exhausted all of her qi, but she couldn’t stop the black mist.
The barrier was about to collapse!
—
On the other side.
Li Ran and the others were advancing through the dense forest.
Upon encounter, he immediately swept the demon beasts with his spear, so his advance speed was extremely fast.
As for Qin Ruyan, she was the cheerleader.
“Sheng Zi Li’s spear is awesome!”
“How long is Sheng Zi Li’s spear? Looking at it, it must be two meters!”
“What a fast spear! As expected of a man who pursues speed!”
Li Ran didn’t say anything. “……”
